Reposition the Ubuntu Lucid Lynx Light theme buttons
By default, the new Light theme that comes with the latest version of Ubuntu Lucid Lynx are positioned on the left. If you want to reposition them to the old-fashioned right side, hit Alt+F2 and type gconf-editor.
Click Apps > Metacity > General on the left sidebar and change the property of button_layout from
close,minimize,maximize:
to
:close,minimize,maximize
Why is this stuff so well hidden from the average user?
Gawd this is maddening. This should be exposed in the normal user level tools that your mom would be able to find.
